Item/Min Ref: Title of Report: NIEA (Built Officer presenting: Senior Heritage) Consultation which Planning Officer (LDP) Item 8 considers the proposed Listing / De Listing of certain Buildings Author: Senior Planning Officer of Special Architectural or (LDP) Historic Interest within the Council area.
1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations
1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise members that the Planning section has received two consultations in March / April 2015 from NIEA – Built Heritage seeking Planning views on the proposed Listing or De – Listing of a number of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest under Article 42 (1) of the Planning (NI) Order 1991 and Section 80 (1) of the Planning Act (NI) 2011. Under Article 42(3) and Section 80(3), the Department (NIEA) is required to consult with the Council (and the Historic Buildings Council) before it lists / de-list buildings.
2 Background
2.1 As part of the consultation, each building was referenced by way of a location map together with a copy of the NIEA Second Survey Report which details the history and current state of the building and the reasoning behind its proposed Listing or De-Listing. A full list of the buildings, along with any relevant planning history can be found in Appendix A.
3 Key Issues
3.1 Planning officials have reviewed the planning history (if any) for each of the buildings and are satisfied that in each case there is no planning permission, either current or extant,(other than Site 8 – see Appendix A) which would impact on the proposed Listing or De-Listing of the buildings in question. 3.2 Planning officials have assessed the 11 proposed listings and agree that they are of special architectural or historic interest. Similarly, the 4 proposed de-listings have all been substantially rebuilt or altered to such an extent that it is accepted that they no longer merit listed status.
4 Financial and Other Implications
4.1 There are no financial implications.
5 Recommendations
5.1 It is recommended that the Planning Committee reviews this summary for information purposes and Council sends the attached letter (Appendix B), agreeing to the proposed listings / de-listings.
